本篇「光之對談」由艾麗與一位虛擬的「記錄者」展開，深入探討美國海軍人事局編纂的《Record of Medals of Honor issued to the officers and enlisted men of the United States Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, 1862-1923》。對談圍繞書中記載的榮譽勳章及其背後的英勇事蹟，包括勳章的設計演變與授勳法案的細節。艾麗與記錄者共同回溯了數個具體案例，如亨利·布里奧的捨己救人、約翰·勞森的堅守崗位、羅伯特·愛德華·考克斯的危機應對、威廉·M·科里的忠誠犧牲、丹尼爾·戴利的雙重英勇，以及查爾斯·H·威克斯的臨危不亂。藉此探討這些超越常人極限的勇氣與人性光輝，並反思這些記錄對後世的啟發意義。對談以一首「光之和聲」作結，讚頌了英勇事蹟的永恆價值。
